ABSTRACT: For long-term learning and positive connections to take place in the classroom, we need to assume that our students want to learn both content and appropriate behavior in school. Teachers must explicitly teach behavior, pausing in their lessons to address misbehavior in the classroom. Five strategies can help: using volume, tone, and posture to communicate in a firm but nonthreatening way; implementing the Two-by-Ten Strategy (use two minutes each day for ten days in a row to get to know a troublesome student); breaking things into steps; using behavior rubrics; and using visuals.
